Mews is at a significant stage of its growth – building the financial infrastructure, reporting standards and compliance programmes that a scaled, global business needs. The accounting function is central to that, and it needs a leader who has been here before. This role leads the accounting organisation at Mews: controlling and reporting, AP and tax, technical accounting, payroll and, soon, accounts receivable. The teams are based primarily in Prague, technically strong, and highly motivated. What they're missing is a leader who can answer hard accounting questions, close the books faster, and help them understand what their roles look like as the business continues to scale. This isn't a steady-state role. Mews operates across 32 entities, has a SOX programme underway, and is building toward the reporting standards and compliance posture of a public-ready business. There is real work to do – and genuine career upside for the person who does it.
Job Responsibility
Lead the accounting function and build a public-ready finance organisation: Own the end-to-end accounting organisation: controlling and reporting, accounting and tax, technical accounting and payroll
Drive readiness across SOX, PCAOB and SEC reporting standards, and US GAAP adoption – building the compliance posture a scaled business needs
Reduce month-end close from day 8–10 to business day 5
Lead the transition to Coupa and a PO-first procurement model, going live September 2026
Build bench strength in US GAAP and SOX – currently one specialist in each area
Bring AI-native thinking to transform manual processes across the function
Act as a strategic partner to the leadership team and accounting org: Help the Prague team answer difficult questions about where accounting is going and what their roles look like as the business scales
Manage upwards as well as downwards – influencing leadership behaviour is a real part of this job
Work cross-functionally
accounting silos are not what this business needs right now
Requirements
Deep technical accounting expertise, public company experience, and the judgement to build for scale: You have worked in or led accounting at a US-listed public company – you understand what SEC, PCAOB and SOX compliance looks like in practice
Strong US GAAP knowledge is non-negotiable
dual US GAAP and IFRS is ideal
Hands-on SOX compliance experience, including designing or owning a SOX programme
A track record of transforming accounting teams – automating, restructuring, raising the bar
Experience with compact, multi-entity accounting functions
familiarity with complex consolidation
AI fluency, with a genuine appetite for re-thinking how accounting works: AI has changed how you work, not just how fast
you see where it can replace manual processes, not just assist with them
You can point to specific automation or workflow improvements you've driven in a finance context
You are comfortable stress-testing your own assumptions about what accounting needs to look like – and helping a team do the same
Familiarity with modern finance tooling
exposure to Business Central, OneStream or Workiva is a plus
A clear and credible communicator who leads through expertise, not hierarchy: Humility, cross-functional instinct, and willingness to work with others are as important as technical depth
Comfortable working with ambiguity while maintaining clarity and momentum for the tea
Nice to have
Dual US GAAP and IFRS
Exposure to Business Central, OneStream or Workiva
